My Digits

I looked at the music file. I tried seeing the beats in Audactiy. I can't seem to find a guide for solving the numbers of the phone. I also tried counting the number of times the beeps went. So i'm taking three beeps as the number 3. Am I doing this right? Please help.

Looking at the given file in an audio editor is pretty much the right idea. The possible values for the digits are between 0 and 9. How would you encode a zero? Hint: You can't do it with zero pulses ;)

Hmmm. Maybe I did this wrong. I tried counting the pulses with Audacity. Well I will try again with that.

I counted the pulses in Audacity and I also did what AMindForeverVoyaging wanted to say, i am pretty sure I have the solution, but it is not accepted as the solution. Any suggestions?

I have honestly no idea why this is giving some people trouble. Let's see, what other information can be provided without completely giving away the solution?

The answer consists of five digits.
Two of those digits are the same.

Grr

Man, this one took me forever, but after I got it I felt so dumb. I saved the link for the mp3 and listened to it in Audacity, and then it took some thinking to imagine how they would make a 0 in phone beeps. Thanks AMindForeverVoyaging!
